Vaping is an action of inhaling dangerous chemicals in the body electronically. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) put out warnings against vaping after 450 lung-disease cases have occurred in over 33 states and the Virgin Islands. Through last Friday, five people died due to lung damage caused by vaping. Researchers from the University of Rochester are testing CBD oil and vapor to see what happens inside of someone's lungs after vaping. Health officials continue to warn people of the hidden effects in this new trend. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/vaping/indiana-reports-its-first-vaping-related-death-bringing-national-death-n1050741
This past Wednesday there was a breakthrough in AI science. AI stands for artificial intelligence. 4 years ago over 700 computer scientists competed in a contest to see who could build an AI machine to pass an 8th grade science test. All of the scientists failed. However this past Wednesday the Allen Institute for AI, a lab in Seattle, revealed a new system that passed the 8th grade test with flying colors. They also created a system that got better than 80% on a 12th grade test. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/04/technology/artificial-intelligence-aristo-passed-test.html
Inhalers are the main treatment option for asthma and if taken correctly, will be effective for 90% of patients. However, in reality, research shows that only about 50% of patients have their condition under control and as many as 94% don’t use inhalers properly. To help asthma sufferers to better manage their condition, Bluetooth-enabled smart inhalers have been developed. A small device is attached to the inhaler which records the date and time of each dose and whether it was correctly administered. This data is then sent to the patients’ smartphones so they can keep track of and control their condition. Trials showed that using the smart inhaler device used less reliever medicine and had more reliever-free days. https://www.copdfoundation.org/COPD360social/Community/COPD-Digest/Article/1341/What-is-Smart-Inhaler-Technology.aspx
Around 600 million people eat contaminated food every year and it’s necessary to find the source of an outbreak quickly. Instead of taking weeks to find the source, it can be tracked in minutes with blockchain technology. It monitors every step of a food items progress through the supply chain. Sensors in packaging can find when food is about to spoil, which makes it so humans don’t waste whole batches of food when they expire. Blockchain shows where and when food has moved from when it was a seed to plant.

An investigation between vaping and severe lung illnesses has yielded the discovery of extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate in nearly all vaping products that were tested. At least one vape product containing this chemical has been linked to each person who fell ill and submitted a product for testing in the state. The department noted that vitamin E acetate is not known to cause harm when ingested as a vitamin supplement or applied to the skin, but the department continues to investigate its health effects when inhaled because its oil-like properties could be associated with the symptoms seen in the lung illness cases.
Robots have been a big change in today’s world. Certain robots are taught to do certain tasks. They teach themselves how to handle life. Researchers say that maybe one day robots will be able to load a dishwasher, do laundry, and even help people get around easier. The very first robots were used to produce ashtrays. Now they do tasks that are too dangerous for humans or too hard for humans to do. Robots are pretty social. Robotics engineer from Japan is working to create robots that can help patients in hospitals and nursing homes.
Post-traumatic stress disorder has been proved to be difficult to treat and now for the medication, it could help. In June the researchers were wondering if therapy or medication could help out the people who had the disorder, since it is something that the therapists use regularly, or what the therapists use to help people is "PE" which shows them a memory that had been traumatic for them, and they talk about it with them and why it traumatized them in the first place.
Defeat malaria in a generation, each year there is more than 200 million cases of malaria which mostly kills young children. Malaria is found more in children than adults. To get rid of malaria it won't be until 2050, another 50 years and it isn't going to be cheap. The coast is $2billion of annual funding. Malaria is a disease caused by plasmodium parasites. Malaria spreads person by person by the bite of a female mosquito. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-49592468
New artificial intelligence robots aren’t just being used in hotels, they’re now being used to help at elderly folk homes. Names like Stevie, Pillo, and Paro, these robots help remind patients to take their medication, soothing dementia patents, or even playing bingo! These robots are a constant companion for these people. Paro is a robotic seal that, much like a dog, soothes dying patents or dementia patents. Pillo helps dispense pills for patents at the right time, and Stevie provides a friend that sings, plays bingo, and even plays games like checkers.
A sensor was recently created to keep track of aneurysms in the brain, which could help prevent dangerous ruptures before they occur. This sensor was originally developed by a type of 3d printer. This sensor is both wireless and flexible, so it can be printed to fit the implant it is attached to. Aneurysms can be treated, but it is not promised on how it heals, or if it will come back again. The main thing that this sensor does is measure blood flow, and how it changes.
A recent study shows that scientists might have a way to reverse aging. Scientists has been combining drugs to repair the thymus gland. They had a test where they took a growth hormone and two diabetes medication over the cross of a year. The study included nine participants and did not contain a control group. They found out the participants lost 2.5 years of their epigenetic clock. They also saw signs of their immune systems rejuvenating. https://www.foxnews.com/health/groudbreaking-study-accidentally-reveals-biological-age-may-be-reversible
Robots are becoming a big thing in todays world. With improving technology we are able to create new and improved robots. Some major brand hotels are including robots to help with tasks a person used to do. Some hotels have robots programed to deliver food and utensils to rooms that order food. One of the hotels that use these robots to help is some Hilton Hotels.
Researches from the Swiss Institute of technology in Zurich have created sensors with electrodes that can produce neural signals. They tested the sensors and electrodes with two individuals with transfemoral (Above the knee) amputations. They placed the sensors on the bottom of a prosthetic with knee angle sensors. The seven sensors under the foot send a signal via bluetooth to a controller around the ankle, which encodes the bluetooth into neural signals which are sent through an implant in the back of the thigh (tibial nerve). The two testers could walk faster and more fluently with the devices, and reported higher self-confidence. https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/09/eth-zurich-prosthetic-leg-sense-of-touch/
Earlier this week scientists were able to finally find the genetic regions where being left handed comes from. There were four genetic regions they identified. Three of these were associated with proteins involved in brain development and structure. In particular, these proteins were related to microtubules (which are part of the building blocks inside cells) called the cytoskeleton. The researchers also found correlations between the genetic regions involved in left-handedness and a very slightly lower chance of having Parkinson's disease.
Scientists have found a new ways to test for drug resistant infections. Beta-Lactam antibiotics (such as penicillin) are some of the most important antibiotics but resistance to them has grown so much that doctors have started to prescribe stronger drugs. Scientists from the University of York modified an antibiotic so it can be attached to a sensor to find the bacteria that is resistant to them. The method can help doctors rapidly detect whether a infection can be treated with common antibiotics. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/09/190909121115.htm
A new study shows that scientists might be able to slow the aging process or maybe even reverse it. In California volunteers were given a growth hormone and two diabetes medications for a year, scientists were testing the drugs to see if they could regenerate the thymus gland. When the scientists looked closer they noticed that participants lost 2.5 years on their epigenetic clock and their immune systems showed signs of rejuvenation. The study only included nine participants and there was no control group. In the future they plan to do another study with more diverse patients and with the three drugs being tested by themselves. https://www.foxnews.com/health/groudbreaking-study-accidentally-reveals-biological-age-may-be-reversible
World first: Doctors use 'reprogrammed' stem cells to repair cornea: Scientist in Japan, treated a damaged cornea for the first time. They used induced pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming adult cells. If you damage your cornea it can take a long time to get tissue from a donor. Shinya Yanabaja presented this iPS technology research on experimental cells in 2006. There should be no transplant rejection, because they are taking the patient’s own tissue. So far the first treatment seems to be successful, it’s been a couple months since her surgery and her cornea is still clear.
People have found out taking a nap once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes. They have been tracking 3,462 people between the ages of 35 and 75 years old, if they would get between 5 minutes to a hour. They would be 48% less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke or then heart failure than those that didn't take a nap. But so have gotten more sicker getting more sleep. So it just depends on if you would rather get sick or get a heart attack or stroke.
My article is about cancer patients in the UK using exercise for better health. This is a trial. This is free for any cancer patients. Cancers patients are saying that they love it. It's fun to break a sweat and forget about being diagnosed with cancers.
Something that has been helping doctors out a lot is robotic surgery. The robots make it so that what they are doing is more precise and accurate. There should be less mistakes made with the robot. Typically the doctors will use the robots for nearly impossible tasks. This could be things dealing with the brain or the heart.

This is helping people because it acts like a healthy pancreas. It is more reliable and helps helps keep blood sugars normal. Doctors have said the artificial pancreas works well for Type 2 diabetes but not for Type 1.
U.S. health officials are saying that more and more deaths of lung cancer disease is caused by vaping. Officials announced on Friday that at least 450 cases of lung cancer diseases are caused by vaping. These cases have been caused in 13 states, and some cases are still under investigation. There has been two death, one in Oregon and in Illinois. There has also been another death in Los Angeles because of vaping.
A neural interface can help people if the where paralysis. It could treat Alzheimer's. The person work on it say by 2040 it be done. But there is a lot of ethical issues in play. Facebook and Elon Musk support this idea https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49606027
If you're someone with a condition where you probably have to use an inhaler. Doctors say if taken correctly it will be effected 90% of the time. In reality, however, only about 50% of their patients have their condition under control. As many as 94% of patients don't even use their inhalers properly. So to help them with their problems a BlueTooth smart inhalers was invented. It's a small device attached to the inhaler that monitors the data, time, and how often the inhaler is used. This is to help to know if the dose was correctly administrated. The device also sends the data to the patient's phone so they can keep take and have better control of their condition.
Genome editing is a type of technology that lets scientists change an organism's DNA, also known as gene editing. The gene editing technology allows material to be added or removed from an organism. The newest example is CRISPR-Cas9 which is said to be the best for gene editing because it’s cheaper, faster and more accurate. CRISPR-Cas9 attacks viruses by getting into the DNA and remembering past viruses so when they show up again they can be stopped. The viruses are targeted and enzymes cut out the affected part of the DNA. https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/genomicresearch/genomeediting
A e-glove was created at Purdue university. It is a glove that goes over the prosthetic hand to give off warmth, softness, and human like appearances. The glove will also be able to feel temperature like we can with our hands, and sense pressure. The hand is also said to be able to help the everyday activities, and the life roles that come along with using hands. The glove will also help the mental health because it will remind people they can do things that they might not have been able to do. The glove will be made out of thin, and very flexible sensors, and a silicon base. It will connect to a wristband for time display of the data, and be able to send signals to the user after for post data about the hands use.
Apple has recently been focusing money toward collaborations with leading medical institutions. Focusing on three main subjects: Hearing, women's mobility, and heart health. Apple hopes to benefit medical history for future generations with willing participants. The way the apps will help people is telling people wether or not the situation they're in is affecting hearing by being too loud. Another thing they plan on doing is helping women track numerous things like their period schedule, infertility, pregnancy, menopause transitions, and PCOS. Lastly, what apple plans on doing with their studies, is tracking many heart health concerns. These innovations in their gadgets could be the start to benefit everyday life regarding health. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/09/apple-announces-three-groundbreaking-health-studies/
There has been a 6th person in the United States that has died from a lung disease linked to vaping. So far there are more than 450 cases of lung illnesses associated with e-cigarettes that have been reported to the CDC, and the numbers change frequently. New York health officials said last week that extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate were found in almost all vaping products that were examined as part of the investigation. At least one vape product containing this chemical has been linked to each person who got sick and submitted their product for testing. Vitamin E acetate is now a key focus of the investigation into the illnesses, the New York Department of Health said some of the products that have been found to contain vitamin E acetate are candy flavored vapes. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/10/health/vaping-outbreak-2019-explainer/index.html
Robots have been built smart enough to do surgeries. People say it's better if a robot does surgeries because it's less likely to get tired and the work is more exact. Robotic surgery seeks specific skills and provides safe and effective solutions to better and shorten surgeries. There is a surgeon in the room the entire time, and helps control the robot. Throughout the world there are 11 surgeons that are trained in using the robots for surgery.
The Trump Administration had promised to take flavored e-cigarettes off the market, because the devices were ended up linked to 6 deaths, and around 500 people were reported for lung injuries. The American Vaping ending up calling this move harsh and severe, and was saying it will send ex smokers back to smoking, do nothing to stop the sale, and create another black market for flavored e-cigarettes.
The iphone 11 came out yesterday. The price of the standard iphone 11 is $699. This is the cheapest a new iphone has been since iphone 8. Apple has seen a decrease in its sales. They are trying to make their prices more consumer friendly. Iphone 11 offers six colors, and their camera's capture 120 degrees field of view.
In Virginia there is a government weapons test site. If you where in a boat driving past you would have seen lots of inflatable boats in the shallows and not thought about it. If you looked closer though you would have seen that the boats did not have a driver. The boats where completely controlling themselves. So in theory the robot boats could do a "hit and run" by themselves.
Scientists have discovered a mysterious population of previously unknown cells lurking in the human body, according to a new study. The enigmatic new cell type, called immune cell X, is a changeling that can act as two other cell types. And this rogue hybrid cell may trigger type 1 diabetes. Scientists have long believed that hybrid cells like these could not exist. The population of these cells is likely tiny; perhaps less than 7 out of every 10,000 white blood cells, said study co-author Abdel-Rahim A. Hamad, associate professor of pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. https://www.livescience.com/rogue-hybrid-cell-triggers-type-1-diabetes.html
6 people have died thus far from e-cigarette usage in the U.S. These deaths have risen more concern on the hazards of e-cigarette usage. There are 450+ cases of lung related illness and disease associated with vaping. Vaping crystalizes your lungs, making breathing hard, and causing or exposing you to illness. New generations are effected heavily by this epidemic because it is popular among teens and many don't understand vaping. The CDC has not discovered all of the ingredients in the e-cigarettes and are learning daily how it effects users. It is important to stop vaping or never start it because you will suffer the horrible consequences.
People that smoke cigarettes will tend to go to vaping to slowly quit smoking. When people start vaping they don't really do their research and don't know the side effects to it. Recently people have died because of it and they are getting real sick. They are now looking up old cases to it. Teens are addicted to nicotine. Trump wants to ban flavors so that teens won't buy pods for their juuls.
A sixth person has die from lung disease linked to vaping in the U.S. The woman was over 50 years old and had been using e-cigarettes for a short time before becoming extremely ill. She died and became the first vaping linked death in Kansas. As of Friday, over 450 cases of possible lung illness associated with vaping. Health officials said that extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate were found in nearly all cannabis-containing vaping products that were part of the investigation.
Tesla misses insurance firm's "safest cars" list because its EVs don't crash often enough. Tesla car are designed to avoid crashes or protect people in a crash that is unavoidable. They did not get get enough data to be put on the Swedish "safest cars' list. The reason behind this is both impressive and ironic at the same time. This year only 7 car crashes were reported. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-disqualified-safest-cars-list-few-crashes/
New nuclear designs that have gained momentum in the past years and are promising to make this power source safer and cheaper. Among them are generation IV fission reactors a step up from traditional designs.Small modular reactors typically produce in the tens of megawatts of power. Companies like Oregon’s NuScale say that the smaller reactors can save money and reduce environmental and financial risks.
Engineers have shown that is it possible to guide a tiny robot inside the colon to micro ultra sound images. It's an invasive procedure that can be painful. Micro ultra sound images have the advantage of being able to identify some types of cell change associated with cancer. It is a rod with magnets, and it has two that react to each other and the capsule of it. The magnets are not harmful to the human body they can go through human tissue paper. This could help save lives and stop cancer before it is there.

If you're someone with a condition where you probably have to use an inhaler. Doctors say if taken correctly it will be effected 90% of the time. In reality, however, only about 50% of their patients have their condition under control. As many as 94% of patients don't even use their inhalers properly. So to help them with their problems a BlueTooth smart inhalers was invented. It's a small device attached to the inhaler that monitors the data, time, and how often the inhaler is used. This is to help to know if the dose was correctly administrated. The device also sends the data to the patient's phone so they can keep take and have better control of their condition.

Genome editing is a type of technology that lets scientists change an organism's DNA, also known as gene editing. The gene editing technology allows material to be added or removed from an organism. The newest example is CRISPR-Cas9 which is said to be the best for gene editing because it’s cheaper, faster and more accurate. CRISPR-Cas9 attacks viruses by getting into the DNA and remembering past viruses so when they show up again they can be stopped. The viruses are targeted and enzymes cut out the affected part of the DNA.

A e-glove was created at Purdue university. It is a glove that goes over the prosthetic hand to give off warmth, softness, and human like appearances. The glove will also be able to feel temperature like we can with our hands, and sense pressure. The hand is also said to be able to help the everyday activities, and the life roles that come along with using hands. The glove will also help the mental health because it will remind people they can do things that they might not have been able to do. The glove will be made out of thin, and very flexible sensors, and a silicon base. It will connect to a wristband for time display of the data, and be able to send signals to the user after for post data about the hands use.

There has been a 6th person in the United States that has died from a lung disease linked to vaping. So far there are more than 450 cases of lung illnesses associated with e-cigarettes that have been reported to the CDC, and the numbers change frequently. New York health officials said last week that extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate were found in almost all vaping products that were examined as part of the investigation. At least one vape product containing this chemical has been linked to each person who got sick and submitted their product for testing. Vitamin E acetate is now a key focus of the investigation into the illnesses, the New York Department of Health said some of the products that have been found to contain vitamin E acetate are candy flavored vapes.

In Virginia there is a government weapons test site. If you where in a boat driving past you would have seen lots of inflatable boats in the shallows and not thought about it. If you looked closer though you would have seen that the boats did not have a driver. The boats where completely controlling themselves. So in theory the robot boats could do a "hit and run" by themselves.

DeleteScientists have discovered a mysterious population of previously unknown cells lurking in the human body, according to a new study. The enigmatic new cell type, called immune cell X, is a changeling that can act as two other cell types. And this rogue hybrid cell may trigger type 1 diabetes. Scientists have long believed that hybrid cells like these could not exist. The population of these cells is likely tiny; perhaps less than 7 out of every 10,000 white blood cells, said study co-author Abdel-Rahim A. Hamad, associate professor of pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

People that smoke cigarettes will tend to go to vaping to slowly quit smoking. When people start vaping they don't really do their research and don't know the side effects to it. Recently people have died because of it and they are getting real sick. They are now looking up old cases to it. Teens are addicted to nicotine. Trump wants to ban flavors so that teens won't buy pods for their juuls.

Tesla misses insurance firm's "safest cars" list because its EVs don't crash often enough. Tesla car are designed to avoid crashes or protect people in a crash that is unavoidable. They did not get get enough data to be put on the Swedish "safest cars' list. The reason behind this is both impressive and ironic at the same time. This year only 7 car crashes were reported.

Engineers have shown that is it possible to guide a tiny robot inside the colon to micro ultra sound images. It's an invasive procedure that can be painful. Micro ultra sound images have the advantage of being able to identify some types of cell change associated with cancer. It is a rod with magnets, and it has two that react to each other and the capsule of it. The magnets are not harmful to the human body they can go through human tissue paper. This could help save lives and stop cancer before it is there.
